Pizza and pasta are two Italian food favorites that have been integrated into the Filipino table fare. But unlike our Mediterranean friends, we like our pizza and pasta sweet and with a hint of spice.
3M Pizza has been well known for its ham and cheese pizza with a crispy thin crust that is smothered with sweet, home-style tomato sauce. For over 43 years now, this pizza has made millions of Filipino pizza lovers happy and satisfied. “We all practically grew up or grew old with it,” said Emmanuel Sun, one of the five co-owners of Three M Golden Pizza Corp.,
3M Pizza Pie was founded by Merle B. Hemedes in 1969 together with her three sisters. A regular pizza lover in New York, she thought of reinventing her pizzas by making a unique sauce that caters to the Filipino palate. To make her “pizza pie” more accessible, she put up a small kiosk outside the family’s toy shop business at Araneta Arcade in Quezon City. It became an instant hit since it was the first time Filipinos ever tasted pizza. 3M Pizza, now under new a management, returns to the market in 2006 with aggressive plans to re-establish itself as the leading quick-serve pizza, pasta and snacks in the country by reinventing the brand and upgrading its image. The new owners streamlined the operations and implemented a semi-automated production process. They also established an R&D team composed of culinary chefs and market analysts who helped the company develop new products and new unique Pinoy pizza line.
With a name that is as strong as ever, a recreated brand logo and store look, better and more exciting pizza and pasta offerings, and aggressive marketing efforts, 3M Pizza is taking the business to the next level—franchising.
With the help of a franchising consultant, the company is offering an exciting food business prospect to budding entrepreneurs that is easy to operate and learn yet profitable to own.
Since 1969, 3M Pizza is characterized by its pizza unique sweet and slightly spicy sauce that caters to the Filipino taste and with a thin crispy crust topped by ham and cheddar cheese. Since then, it has expanded to 7 more flavors—top-billed by best-seller Hawaiian Delight with pineapple and ham, garlic and cheese, Pepperoni Feast, Mushroomania, Gardener’s Delight, Beefy Meat Sauce, and 3M Pizza Supreme. All these toppings are offered in mini (7-inch diameter). Medium (10 inches) and mega (13 inches) sized. In addition, the company now also offers lasagna, spaghetti, 3M Pizza Roll and Cheesedog.
The company also plans to offer new toppings inspired by Filipino dishes, one of which is the spicy Bicol Express. The pasta line will also be expanded to include a new spaghetti sauce with hotdog, as well as baked Mac and “palabok.”
The favorite among the set of pizza flavors is the 3MSupreme
A prototype big store is also in the works that will offer meal packages that include crispy and spicy fried chicken, sago’t gulaman drink and even sweet dessert pizza concoctions.

“Whether you have a big enterprise or a Small and Medium Business, Globe Business has solutions for you. Our services simplify company’s processes and operations to give entrepreneurs more time to focus on their business’ prime objective and their personal pursuits,” said Manny Aligada, Head of Corporate & SME Segments, Globe Business.

1. Monitor your business anytime, anywhere.
Automated trunk line. Globe Business’ Integrated Services Digital Network – Primary Rate Interface (ISDN PRI) provides 30 channels with corresponding subscriber numbers capable of both outgoing and incoming calls, providing direct connection without need to pass through an operator.
Thanks to Globe Business’ WebEye, an online video surveillance system, activities in one’s business premises may be monitored, at any time, thru the Internet.

Two Globe Business products, Virtual Private Network (VPN) Express and the Multi Protocol Label Switch (MPLS) allow business owners (or authorized personnel) to remotely access business data and connect a company’s branches and company sites.
VPN lets one read company emails, upload and download files, check reports, and do other business tasks—even outside the office. This business solution ensures private, secure communication between two or more multi-site companies. It provides real-time connectivity and access to a company’s secured network. Business owners may access business data and assist colleagues, all in real time live from home or anywhere with Internet access.
VPN Express provides highly secured and efficient networking. It is useful to financing institutions; government agencies—practically any business where the head office needs to connect with company sites.
MPLS allows interconnection of systems and applications among business branches within a scalable and reliable network. It’s most useful to franchised food or retail outlets; and any business whose branches need to coordinate with one another to ensure quality service to customers.
A sporting goods chain for example, may network its branches so customers are able to find a particular athletic, exercise or gym product that may be available in some branches but out of stock in others.
The MPLS has three levels of Quality of Service—Standard, Business, and Premium—to manage network traffic in a cost effective manner.
4. Manage your phone call expenses.

If your business involves high-volume text campaigns, TxtConnect can help you send SMS blasts to your employees and customers in just one send. This service is web-based so it is easier to send SMS than regular text messaging or phone calls.
TxtConnect is likewise cost-efficient as it charges lower text message fees with a plan that starts at P1500 per month. Subscribing to TxtConnect results in as much as 35% in saved cost compared to the regular text messaging service charges.

Losing data in this day and age, whether due to a computer virus, deliberate hacking, spying or data theft; or computer hadware/system failure, is disastrous for business. Globe Business’ Data Center prevents such a catastrophic loss of the confidence and trust of clients and investors.
7. Install a trunk line that needs no operator.
Globe Business’ Integrated Services Digital Network – Primary Rate Interface (ISDN PRI) is an innovative solution for business voice. It provides fast, accurate data transmission over existing copper telephone wiring.

This service is ideal for businesses that need constant communication between personnel in various departments and their customers; including hotels, hospitals, insurance companies; shipping offices; government agencies; financial institutions; call centers; mass media offices; franchised retail or food outlets and the like.
8. Keep track of your supplies.
Fleet Management service offered by Globe Business is a real-time tracking system that ensures the delivery and security of products and supplies. It uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to monitor the precise location of assets like trucks, cargo and products and determine if these arrived at their destination/delivery point on time.
Fleet Management is easy to use and accessible through any computer with Internet connection. This tracking system increases the efficiency of your deliveries, helping reduce fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses when used to determine faster routes. Manufacturing, retail, distribution and other businesses that rely on the transport of goods will benefit from this service.
Fleet Management is one of three products under Globe Business’ M2M (machine-to-machine) Solutions– a high-tech system that allows computers, machines, equipment and assets to remotely communicate and share information with other machines, people and computers. M2M Solutions are connected to the computerized Globe Business M2M Management System.
9. Manage your fixed assets remotely.
Manage phone call expenses. Globe Business post paid plans allow businesses choose the mobile services that best address their needs–with savings of as much as 70% per month on mobile phone bills.
Globe Business’ Fixed Asset Management service allows one to monitor the functioning, operation and maintenance and security of a company’s fixed assets—i.e., freezers, vendo machines, factory machinery, ATMs, computer servers, etc. This way, the productivity of such assets may be determined through their status; output projections may also be made based on the data collected from these assets.
Fixed Asset Management enables one to monitor the condition of fixed assets –whether these are working normally or showing signs of malfunction. One can also track if there are attempts to tamper, sabotage or steal these fixed assets. Alarms and alerts may also be integrated with the monitoring system.
Through Fixed Asset Management, companies minimize machine downtime by undertaking preventive maintenance based on the collected data on the machine’s status. Operating costs due to frequent on-site inspections are reduced—the state of the machine may already be determined through the data obtained remotely. There is also increased protection of off-site machines.
This service is ideal for restaurants and fast food chains; vendo operators; banks; factories and other businesses engaged in manufacturing.
10. Pro-active security.
Globe Business has a Security and Surveillance service that gives owners greater control over securing company sites. Security and Surveillance installs security devices (such as motion and door sensors, panic buttons) that are linked to Globe M2M Management System.
When an intruder breaks in to the secured site for example, the M2M security devices send out alerts through the computer network. This signals the system to deploy an emergency response team to deal with the threat.
The M2M Security and Surveillance system is pro-active and preventive: the security devices are always ready to activate alarms and trigger an emergency response.
All in all, Globe Business’ M2M Solutions optimize the functionality and productivity of a company’s machines/assets. They make business operations less costly yet more efficient. They also provide greater security and control over a company’s mobile and fixed assets.
M2M Solutions are ideal for a wide range of businesses—including the food and/or service industries (restaurants, resorts, hotels, etc.); financial enterprises (banks, pawnshops, etc. ); manufacturing, distribution; practically any business that benefits from machine-to-machine networking and pro-active security.

Following the success of the epic kick-off the Hydration Revolution led by the CompleteSports Drink,New POWERADE ION4®with Advanced Electrolyte System recently, the brand finally comes face to face with one of the elite member of its dream team of ambassadors: international football player Neil Etheridge.
“We were all very excited the moment we knew Neil would be coming here for a game with the Philippine Azkals. It our pride to have garnered the support of such a talented, complete sportsman like him. A talented international football player who has made our country proud with his historic debut at the Europa League chooses POWERADE ION4 as his hydration partner. We couldn’t be any prouder and we know we couldn’t miss our chance to make a powerful welcome.” This exciting press and blogger unveiling was held last February 27, 2012 at the Makati B Function Room of the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.
For this breakthrough joining of forces, Neil joins multi-awarded runner and coach, Rio Dela Cruz, top fitness maven Chinggay Andrada, champion basketball player David Semerad. No doubt, like his premiere teammates, Neil Etheridge embodies POWERADE ION4 to the core. Not only is he on top of his game at such a young age, he’s got beyond exceptional skills. Truly a world-class athlete- that’s what he is.
“It’s a pleasure to be selected by POWERADE ION4 to be one of its ambassadors with fellow Filipino athletes. It’s always important to keep getting better. You have to keep trying to improve and be complete. Every single time you step on the field you want to be your best so I always choose the best equipment; the best, complete hydration partner. Hopefully with POWERADE ION4, I get to be one of the world’s best,” says Neil. Indeed, the popular football star is passionate in improving and achieving further. And he also knows that his body is his most important gear; the very reason why he would never settle for anything less than complete just like POWERADE ION4.
What makes it the complete sports drink? While other sports drinks have two ions, new POWERADE ION4® helps replenish water and the four key electrolytes typically lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and provide carbohydrate fuel for your muscles. POWERADE ION4® encourages the body to absorb fluid and maintain fluid balance. Carbohydrates are replaced as well, supplying your working muscles with fuel, helping you sustain mental and physical performance as you exercise. To help you fight off dehydration, POWERADE ION4®doesn’t switch your thirst receptors off prematurely. It keeps you feeling thirsty until you’re properly rehydrated.
When sweating, the body loses more than just water. It loses essential electrolytes, which are important in exercise. The importance of each was reviewed by The American College of Sports Medicine, American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada and it was learned that: Sodium is a critical electrolyte, which helps you sweat effectively and aids in muscle contraction; Potassium, on the other hand, is important in the overall energy metabolism; Third of the four key ions is calcium, which essential for overall bone metabolism; Lastly, magnesium plays a vital role in regulating cardiovascular and neuromuscular functions to sustain your performance. Drinking POWERADE ION4®, completely packed with these four vital ions, is the an effective way to replace fluid and fuel losses.
Powerade Ion4 is available in Mountain Blast, Orange Burst and Silver Charge in the new easy-grip 500mL bottles. The Mountain Blast and Silver Charge variants are also available in sports caps, perfect for rehydrating during exercise. Powerade is a trusted partner of many sports organizations in the country and the world. In fact, it is the official hydration partner of the 2012 Olympic athletes in London.
Complete your game with the complete sports drink, new POWERADE ION4 withAdvanced Electrolyte System. To learn more about this breakthrough product, go to the Powerade ION4 Facebook Fan Page (www.facebook.com/powerade) and/or follow @PoweradePH on Twitter.

WHEN WE EXPECT MORE from the most important things in our life, we need to cross the line into better things—we leave behind what was in the past, in order to achieve more in the present and the future. This crucial, life-changing decision is presented in the new AXA Philippines TV commercial.
The TVC is shot in sepia and blue hues, showing different people at different life stages, from yuppies to families just starting out; to young couples; to someone on crutches recovering from an injury. At first, they all stand on the brink of decision, as they get ready to cross the red line (representing the switch in the AXA logo).
When the final decision is made, however, the sepia and blue hues give way to brightness breaking through the gloom. The sense of freedom, vitality and possibility shines in the smiles and bright faces of those who walked across the line.
World’s number one
LIFE’S UNCERTAINTIES require having a reliable, strong and trusted partner. AXA Philippines offers financial protection and insurance solutions that fit every stage of life. AXA Philippines belongs to the international AXA Group trusted by 95 million customers in 61 countries. AXA is the number one insurance brand in the world (Interbrand Report, 2011).
Choosing the right insurance provider gives you peace of mind when it comes to your financial future and the financial security of your family. This is especially true when the provider is consistently reliable, available and attentive to your needs—and is the world’s number one insurance brand as well.
“AXA as a global brand has always been a trusted provider of financial protection; this is true for its 95 million customers in 61 countries. Recently, Interbrand—one of the top international brand consultancies–named AXA the world’s Number One insurance brand for the third consecutive year.
“AXA Philippines brings the same top quality products and services to its policy holders in the Philippines. We are here to listen to our customers needs and be their reliable partner in helping them protect, support and manage their financial future,” said AXA Philippines President & CEO, Rien Hermans.
Interbrand ranked AXA number one in the world from 2009 to 2011 for the following reasons: 1) AXA’s ability to “redefine its industry by focusing on customer insights”; 2) AXA’s consistent performance in being “available, attentive and reliable” towards its clients; and its success in offering clients “tangible proofs” of how it fulfills its promises; and 3) The strong commitment to the AXA brand by the company’s members at the senior and employee levels.
Interbrand, one of the largest firms in the world specializing in brand analytics, brand strategy and brand valuation, also put AXA as 53rd best brand in the world across all categories; and fourth best French brand across all industries.
Listening to the customer
WHOM DO YOU TRUST when it comes to your personal goals and financial needs? AXA Philippines has customized insurance solutions that are tailor-fit each policyholder’s needs–whether to protect the future of loved ones or increase and manage one’s assets and wealth. AXA is the number one insurance brand in the world (Interbrand Report, 2011).
Hermans explained that AXA is redefining insurance industry standards with its products and its customer approach. He said that instead of offering pre-packaged products off the shelf—a products-based approach—what AXA offers clients are based on their needs.
“The first step we take is to listen to the client’s needs. What are his or her goals? What sort of financial future does he or she envision? Only when we know the answers to these questions can we begin to create a customized, personalized package of solutions for them—one that is the right fit for their needs and goals,” explained Hermans.
Affordable and convenient
Such personalized financial solutions are always worth the investment. Besides the assurance that your insurance package is exactly what you need, AXA customers also enjoy value for their investment.
“Our premiums are matched to the client’s disposable income. This makes payments easy and affordable since they are within the client’s budget and follows his or her current cashflow,” explained Hermans.
AXA also makes the process of application, payments and claims clear, simple and convenient for customers. For example, application forms are already attached to brochures and such forms have been simplified for ease in filling them out.
Payments are also made more convenient through auto debit and auto charge features. Claims processing is also made simple and tailored to the type of insurance benefit.
For every stage of life
As shown in the AXA TVC, customers from all walks of life will find a set of customized solutions for AXA—at whatever life stage they are currently in.
Whether one is a young urban professional who wants to start early in securing his financial future, or a breadwinner seeking to secure his or her family’s financial needs, AXA is able to provide customized solutions for them. AXA also has solutions for wealth management.
“Younger customers, who are beginning their careers and have less flexibility with their disposable income, will find that they can start investing in insurance in an easy and affordable way through AXA.”
“Breadwinners on the other hand will get assurance and peace of mind that their investments are secure and that claims can be availed of reliably and conveniently.”
“AXA also has products that take care of wealth management. We have clients who need advice on how to invest the considerable assets they worked hard to gather through the years. While they are already asset-rich, they still need reliable, dependable and expert assistance to achieve their financial goals,” stated Hermans.
95 MILLION PEOPLE IN 61 COUNTRIES put their faith, their financial needs and their protection in the hands of AXA, the number one insurance brand in the world (Interbrand Report, 2011). AXA Philippines brings the same international quality insurance solutions and protection to every customer in the Philippines.
Knowing all of these, crossing the line no longer seems too daunting. In fact, it just might be one of the best decisions you can make in your life.
